Welcome to the village history archives!

Welcome to the village history
archives, as part of our Millennium celebrations in 2000 a small
working group put together an exhibition of archive material about
the village. Inspired by Elizabeth Bicknell’s book ‘Isle
Abbots’(c 1980 now sadly out of print) we brought
together information from a variety of sources (eg Somerset Records Office
and Somerset Studies Library). Most of this material is now held in trust
by Mrs Barbara Rickitt of Brome’s House.

For this website we hope we have reproduced this material
accurately but cannot guarantee this. You may wish to check with
original sources and we try to indicate where to go and how to consult
these sources. There is no charge for any of our information and we hope you
may either amend or add to our archives as you acquire new information.
In either case Please email David Sutcliffe
